Ledge No. 496, Johnsville-Washington Grange Steam Corners Evangelical Church, Pleasant GroTe Sunday School leads the contest today with 6000 votes ahead of the nearest competitor. The Worn-n'a Releif Corps jumps from fifth place to second, etc. The game of seesaw continues and will probably continue indefinitely until the winners are known. Some heavy voting theis week is going to make some surprising changes in the lineup. Extra Vote Ofeer The special extra vote offer which expires Saturday, Oct. 15 here stimu lated the contest workers of the leading organizations to stronger efforts Many clubs have been received and placed to the credit of some of the leaders who are piling up a safe re serve. This week will be the banner week of the contest thus far and Satur day will be a very busy day for the con test editor. Wide awake contestants now realize that dependence upon voting coupons is a mistake and it is subscription votes which will decide the winners of the three fine prize pianos. "Clubs of Five" should be found speedily and turned in at the office before Saturday evening. 2000 extra votes will be given for every club of fiye new subscribers. Each $1.50 paid for new subscriptions will be considered as one subscription. 1000 extra, votes will be given for every club of five renewals or each 37.50 paid on old subscriptions. GREAT ACTIVITY PREVAILS - The activity now evident throughout the county was never before equalled in a voting contest in this section of 'Ohio. Such a shifting about of posi-' tions is out of the ordinary. It seems - that no one candidate can keep the lead for any length of time. The coveted ' position of first place is an honor desired by all, for the simple reason that the leading candidate has little difficulty m securing support. It is a serious Mistake to withhold votes when needed to maintain a good position. The gen- eral public is interested in the standing and gauges the chances of a candidate by the niunber of votes cast fer their favorite organisation. Again, you never can tell what a candidate apparently asleep is going to do. Almost any time you can look for a , VOTES 21500 15130 13780 13550 13100 11280 9640-8670 6360 5920 5780 5460 5250 2450 2230 1800 contestant lower down the line to jmp up and go over the heads of those who are in the lead. don't listen to buncombe At this period of the contest rumors get started as to the strength of the various candidates. No doubt you have already heard some "Big Talk." You hear some fellow talking about this or that contestant having so many thousands of votes in reserve and about such a church or school being sure of a piano. Talk like this is intended t start cold chills and get timid candidates frightened. To those who might be exposed to "chills" of this sort, vr& have this to say, "keep up the fire of ballots until the last minute." More battles have been won at the last ditch than at the first. Believe only what you know to be facts. Noise only frightens and has no lasting effect, It is as easy to have strength exagger atedasitis to have some "knockers disparage the local candidate. All sorts of rumors will be heralded to weaken the ones who have been slow in getting their forces aligned. the best vote getting time is right now! If you want a free piano for the local school or church you will have to hustle for it. Talk is cheap and it only takes plenty of talk and hustle to win. To spend the time "fig uring on how many votes you can get at the last minute is not going to bring your organization a fine piano. Go out and get them. Votes are easier to get now than ever 1 X n,i ueiure. uacnering i coupons is easy work but, you need subscription votes to land that piano. I8n t a fine $450 piano worth some effort on'the part of the beneficiaries? Is not either of the two $350 pianos given as Becond and third prizes worth some extra effort? WHO SHOULD WORK Every parent of a school student in the lowns where the public schools are trying to win a piano should feel it their dutjr to assist in some manner. Every citizen of the community should fee! a keen interest in the welfare and success of the schools in this contest. Just think how pleased the children will be and the honor to be attained by win? ning! Canvass every member of your or- ganization in a systematic manner and insist upon their support. They are the ones who will be benefitted. Your people will naturally feel a just pride in your achievement and will not withhold their support if diligence is shown, this spirit of local pride is going to cut quite a figure before the contest closes, nov 5. some things to heed Read the rules and be guidedaccordingly- . The contest closes at 8 p. m. Saturday, November 5. Tuesdays and Fridays are the best voting days. .Any person who began taking the Republican after the first announcement of the contest will be counted as a new subscriber to the end of the contest. All new subscribers are entitled to the increased vote for each successive payment for subscription. Three pianos will be given away as follows: First prize a $450 Schaff Bros, piano. This instrument is considered to be the equal if not superior to the finest instruments in use in Morrow county. The guarantee on this piano is unlimited. Second prize a $330 Link & Son's piano. This instrument is a very handsome -one, possessing a fine tone and guaranteed for ten years. Manufactured by the Schaff Bros. Co., Huntington, Ind. Third prize a $350 Ackerman & Lowe piano, furnished by Henry Ackerman, Marion, Ohio. ' Note: The contestant ranking second will have choice of the second and third prizes. MILEAGE FOR JUDGES Must be Passed on by County Commissioners.The opinion given by Attorney General Denman which says that the pre siding judge at each election booth must have his mileage bill passed on by the county commissioners will cause a large increase in work for several county officers and will delay the pay for these election officials. In the past the presiding judge who received mileage both for going to the election board headquarters for supplies and for bringing in the election returns had been paid on the same voucher wih the regular pay and was approved only by the election board. That new ruling will delay the payment of the mileage until after the first Monday in December, when the commissioners pass on the bills. The officers can then get the rest of their pay from the treasurer. The elec tion officers say that there are sure to be a large number of complaints when the county officers hear of the new ruling."another shower In Which Miss Wheeler Is Recipient of Marty Presents The Sewing Club gave a shower last Friday at Miss Agnes McAnalls honoring Miss M. Roberta Wheeler. There were twenty-five present, those from out of town being Mrs. Helen Miller Barr of London, Miss Gertrude Simms I of Cleveland, and Miss Fledda White of Chicago. Miss Wheeler received many handsome and useful gifts. The table was decorated in pink and white, the centerpiece being pink and white roses. As is the custom each member furnished a part of the supper. IIUPJ AGAIN G. L Wood Seriously Injured This Time He Broke His Thigh. G. L. Wood, who is making his home with his son in Genesee, Idaho, recent ly met with a severe accident while as sisting about the work in his (son's grain elevator, by falling and breaking his thigh. It is reported that he is improving and the Republican with bis many other friends here, wish tor him a speedy recovery. Mr. Wood has had several serious ac cidents within the past few years. :&rtrcent of Agriculture Condition of Crops, Oct 1,1910. The figures on wheat production this month, based on the acreage aa returned by the township assessors, show a large increase over the Hmat.! area as reported by the official correspondents of the department, hence the total production in bushels is much greater than was anticipated in previous reports. The assessors' returns show that 1,984,895 acres were erigin-sl?y seeded to wheat, and deducting from this the area abandoned there remained 1,042.599 acres to be harvested. Correspondents estimate that the average yield per acre was 16 bushels, a total production for the state as a whole of 31,229,206 bushels. The production last year was 27,393,344 bushels. The quality of the grain is estimated at 93 per cent, compared with an average, as against 87 per cent, last year. The average production per acre i i approximately the same as the harvest of 1909. Of last year's crop it is estimated that but seven per cent, still remains in producer's " hands. The break in the long drouth put the ground in fine condition for seeding, and where early sown the plant shows a thriving condition. Much of the present corn ground will be put to wheat, and as that crop is late in maturing, seeding has necessarily been retarded. The area of oats as reported by township assessors was 1,441,937 acres, and from this has been produced 54,094,054 bushels, an average of 38 bushels per acre. This ia an increase of approximately 5,000,000 bushels over last year's harvest. Quality of the grain is up to fs average 10U per cent. . Barley shows an estimated production of 461,165 bushels, while it is estimated I 995,239 bushels of rye were harvested. The corn prospect is estimated at 81 per cent, of a normal yield, based upon 35 bushels per acre as normal, represented by 100 per cent. The area planted to corn, as estimated by the township assessors was 3,074,292 acres, and from present prospect it should pro duce 87,156,178 bushels. Even though the crop should husk out much better than now anticipated it will fall far short of the crop of one year ago. At proper planting season cool, wet weath er prevailed, and the greater area was .planted late. During the month of June the plant made rapid growth, but severe drouth followed the succeeding months, and its effect is now apparent in the poor prospect reported. ine probable yield of potatoes is es timated at but 70 per cent, compared with an average. On the correspond ing date last year the prospect was re ported at 89 per cent. The tobacco prospect also shows a material decline in comparison with last year. It is reported at 75 per cent, of an average as against 97 per cent. in 1909. Apple prospect is estimated at 62 per cent, compared with an average. Late rains have greatly benefitted pastures. The following report is computed from returns received from the official correspondents of the department: Wheat Estimated area harvested, 1,942,599 acres; product per acre, 16 bushels; total estimated product for 1910, 31,229,206 bushels; quality compared with an average, 93 per cent; crop of 1909 still in producers' hands, 7 per cent. Oats Area as returned by county as sessors, 1,441,957 acres; product per acre, 38 bushels; total estimated pro duct for 1910, 54,094,054 bushels; qual ity compared with an average, 100 per cent. Barley, fall and spring area as returned by township assessors, 16,932 acres; product per acre, 27 bushels; total estimated product for 1910, 461. 165 bushels; quality compared with an average, 94 per cent Rye area as returned by township assessors, 64,336 acres; product per acre, 15 acres; total estimated product for 1910, 995,239 bushels; quality com pared with an average, 94 per eent. Co ki Prospect compared with normal yield, 81 per cent; cut up for fodder, 76 per cent: average date for fod der cutting, September 25. Potatoes probable total vield com pared with an average, 70 per cent. Tobacco prospect compared with an average, 75 per cent. Pastures Condition compared with an average, 84 per cent.

Gilead, as for instance, som- day in each week might be set aside by all merchants on which some item on the entire stock of goods, for that matter, could be offered at a disco:y;t. This might bring to town on that parti cular day each week many people, and some who never come to town on ordi nary days. Some entertainment, music, races and the like might be furnished. One day each week as a genuine bargain day would not encourage fakirs, but on the other hand would discourage them. Anything to bring people regularly to Mt. Gilead to do their trading is the sensible thing to encourage. Edison October 11 Mrs. Bertha Gradley of Oklahoma is visiting relatives and friends in Edison. Mrs. Sarah Garster has company from Iowa this week. Mesdames Jackson, Ruhl, AHer and Miss Mma Maxwell went to Marion in an automobile Monday night. A donation will be given for the new minister, Rev. Bryenton, next Fri day night. All are invited to come and bring an abundant supply of all they wish to. Miss Florence Campbell of near Sparta visited Saturday and Sunday with relatives and friends here. Mr. and Mrs. Glen Thomas of Marion visited at the home of Wm. Swam few days last week. Miss Lena Watson visited at the home of John Tissure's, Sunday. L. M. Cunard and wife spent Sunday at the home of Charles Adams. Miss Pansy Patten spent Friday afternoon with Miss Geneva Conklin. A number of the young people of this place attended the operas at Mt. Gilead last week. - Walter Rmehart, while returning home from his school Monday evening met with what might have been a serious accident, a reach breaking on the buggy, causing his horse to run away, tearing up his buggy.

CONTEST EDITOR, Passes ever Nar&cra Ctsty llzzy Eves; Monday evening at six o'clock Morrow county people saw their first air hip, passing from east to west The air ship, or balloon, rather, passed over tbs north end of the county, constantly whirling it red and green lights; Two occupants could plainly be seen. Harry Earfey, on his way to Galion, says it crossed the Big Four as the train passed north at St. James; then changing its Course and heading towards the northwest. When first seen it looked as though it was going to land just north of Mt. Gilead. Cf ?n?r KY CITY Ki. Ecjsystfe Trip. Mr. and Mrs. Orr Carpenter spent several days recently, visiting their daughter, Mrs. George F. Rieger and family in Pittsburg, Pa. While there they visited Carnegie library, Phipps conservatory and went aercM the Mo- nongahala river into Homestead, where the immense steel mills are located, and saw an interesting game of ball in their beautiful base ball park. They also saw the play "raffles" at Ducene theater, attended the Exposition where they listened to the famous Souza band, and saw a thrilling reproduction of the battle between the Monitor and Merrimack, the first ironclads ever built; visited Schenly and Highland parks the three large reservoirs are in Highland park, what with its beautiful tunnels, lakes, lawnd, and the zoo, where you can look down on and across the Allegheny river into Sharpsburg on the left and Aspenwall on the right, where the immense Alteration plant is which supplies the city with water. There are many beautiful views about Pittsburg, not -ithstanding its numerous industries ha von for it the sobriquet of the '"Smoky City." A Mt Gilead Street fair A street fair is being arranged for Mt. Gilead for three days next week. It is likely to bring folks to town, more particularly fakirs, and it may afford an excellent opportunity to buy cheap razors, jewelry, notions, fruits, medicines and the like. Street fairs as a rule are intended for booze sellers, but in this case that feature is cut out, and venders in. other articles will hold sway. THRILLING EXPERIENCE In a Runaway Accident at Iberia in Which a Mailman Figored T. D. Riddle, rural mail carrier from the St James post office had perhaps one of the most thrilling experiences ever coming to a person in Morrow county in a runaway accident. Last Thursday morning as he was starting from his home in Iberia to the post-office, his horse became frightened and ran away. Of this the Galion Inquirer says. It dashed east along the main.. street, apparently blind to all obstruct tions. Across the road a ditch, some eight or ten feet in width and equally deep, had been dug in preparing to build a concrete culvert. The dirt was heaped high at both sides of theopening- The horse made a mad dash in the direction of the ditch. The driver was unable to hold it and the animal ran over the dirt embankment and plunged head first into the ditch, drag ging buggy, driver and all into the gap. The horse struck the opposite bank and broke its neck. The buggy was smash"' ed but the driver escaped without in- ' juay and quickly relieved himself from the wreckege in the bottom of the ditch. The pleasant purgative effect ex perienced by all who use Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets, and the healthy condition of the body and mind which they create, makes one feel joy ful.

It is reported that he is improving and the Republican with bis many other friends here, wish tor him a speedy recovery. Mr. Wood has had several serious ac cidents within the past few years. :&rtrcent of Agriculture Condition of Crops, Oct 1,1910. The figures on wheat production this month, based on the acreage aa returned by the township assessors, show a large increase over the Hmat.! area as reported by the official correspondents of the department, hence the total production in bushels is much greater than was anticipated in previous reports. The assessors' returns show that 1,984,895 acres were erigin-sl?y seeded to wheat, and deducting from this the area abandoned there remained 1,042.599 acres to be harvested. Correspondents estimate that the average yield per acre was 16 bushels, a total production for the state as a whole of 31,229,206 bushels. The production last year was 27,393,344 bushels. The quality of the grain is estimated at 93 per cent, compared with an average, as against 87 per cent, last year. The average production per acre i i approximately the same as the harvest of 1909. Of last year's crop it is estimated that but seven per cent, still remains in producer's " hands. The break in the long drouth put the ground in fine condition for seeding, and where early sown the plant shows a thriving condition. Much of the present corn ground will be put to wheat, and as that crop is late in maturing, seeding has necessarily been retarded. The area of oats as reported by township assessors was 1,441,937 acres, and from this has been produced 54,094,054 bushels, an average of 38 bushels per acre. This ia an increase of approximately 5,000,000 bushels over last year's harvest. Quality of the grain is up to fs average 10U per cent. . Barley shows an estimated production of 461,165 bushels, while it is estimated I 995,239 bushels of rye were harvested. The corn prospect is estimated at 81 per cent, of a normal yield, based upon 35 bushels per acre as normal, represented by 100 per cent. The area planted to corn, as estimated by the township assessors was 3,074,292 acres, and from present prospect it should pro duce 87,156,178 bushels. Even though the crop should husk out much better than now anticipated it will fall far short of the crop of one year ago. At proper planting season cool, wet weath er prevailed, and the greater area was .planted late. During the month of June the plant made rapid growth, but severe drouth followed the succeeding months, and its effect is now apparent in the poor prospect reported. ine probable yield of potatoes is es timated at but 70 per cent, compared with an average. On the correspond ing date last year the prospect was re ported at 89 per cent. The tobacco prospect also shows a material decline in comparison with last year. It is reported at 75 per cent, of an average as against 97 per cent. in 1909. Apple prospect is estimated at 62 per cent, compared with an average. Late rains have greatly benefitted pastures. The following report is computed from returns received from the official correspondents of the department: Wheat Estimated area harvested, 1,942,599 acres; product per acre, 16 bushels; total estimated product for 1910, 31,229,206 bushels; quality compared with an average, 93 per cent; crop of 1909 still in producers' hands, 7 per cent.

Gilead, as for instance, som- day in each week might be set aside by all merchants on which some item on the entire stock of goods, for that matter, could be offered at a disco:y;t. This might bring to town on that parti cular day each week many people, and some who never come to town on ordi nary days. Some entertainment, music, races and the like might be furnished. One day each week as a genuine bargain day would not encourage fakirs, but on the other hand would discourage them. Anything to bring people regularly to Mt. Gilead to do their trading is the sensible thing to encourage. Edison October 11 Mrs. Bertha Gradley of Oklahoma is visiting relatives and friends in Edison.

CONTEST EDITOR, Passes ever Nar&cra Ctsty llzzy Eves; Monday evening at six o'clock Morrow county people saw their first air hip, passing from east to west The air ship, or balloon, rather, passed over tbs north end of the county, constantly whirling it red and green lights; Two occupants could plainly be seen. Harry Earfey, on his way to Galion, says it crossed the Big Four as the train passed north at St. James; then changing its Course and heading towards the northwest. When first seen it looked as though it was going to land just north of Mt. Gilead. Cf ?n?r KY CITY Ki. Ecjsystfe Trip. Mr. and Mrs. Orr Carpenter spent several days recently, visiting their daughter, Mrs. George F. Rieger and family in Pittsburg, Pa.

Street fairs as a rule are intended for booze sellers, but in this case that feature is cut out, and venders in. other articles will hold sway. THRILLING EXPERIENCE In a Runaway Accident at Iberia in Which a Mailman Figored T. D. Riddle, rural mail carrier from the St James post office had perhaps one of the most thrilling experiences ever coming to a person in Morrow county in a runaway accident. Last Thursday morning as he was starting from his home in Iberia to the post-office, his horse became frightened and ran away. Of this the Galion Inquirer says. It dashed east along the main.. street, apparently blind to all obstruct tions. Across the road a ditch, some eight or ten feet in width and equally deep, had been dug in preparing to build a concrete culvert. The dirt was heaped high at both sides of theopening- The horse made a mad dash in the direction of the ditch. The driver was unable to hold it and the animal ran over the dirt embankment and plunged head first into the ditch, drag ging buggy, driver and all into the gap. The horse struck the opposite bank and broke its neck. The buggy was smash"' ed but the driver escaped without in- ' juay and quickly relieved himself from the wreckege in the bottom of the ditch.
